The revenue from the sale of hydropower is almost balanced out by the import of petrol, diesel, and kerosene (all dirty fuels), import of cars and parts, and import of electricity (ironically at a higher price than what we sell for) from India. BUT, we are left with all the mess - the wanton environmental destruction scarring our landscapes, the pollution in our air and waters, whole river disappearing into the mountains (as is the case with Punatsangchhu at the moment) and all the perpetual kowtowing to India. We are moving further away from the self-reliance our kings envisioned for us. All this stem from bad management and governance. Bhutanese people should not take this lying down - we need to speak out and make our parliamentarians hear our dissatisfaction with the status quo.
